I was just playing with my Inova X5 UV and decided I wanted to see if the UV would make a glo-ring light up better than the regular LED it was installed in.
I wasnt expecting the LED in the light to start glowing but I realise now that I should have.
Anyway after checking out all my lights that are within easy reach and I think I've got a way to verify that the tint I ordered is the tint I recieved.
My warm white LED glowed red, neutral (and some sold as cool) white glowed orange, and the cool white glowed plain white.
Took a picture using my 365nm uv led to show what shur found.
On top is neutral, warm and a green led.
The lower ones are all cool white and didn’t show much but there is a Nichia 219 glowing pretty nice bellow the warm white.
I posted this a few times in various threads. I take it that no one has any experience with the Solarforce UV drop in? It is a low voltage 3-4.2v drop in designed to run best on a single 18650, RCR123, or CR123 battery.
Yes, I’ve got one. I’m fascinated by the differences when you bounce UV light off things.
The drop-in is very good for what I bought it for - charging up Glow in the dark objects, strong enough to light your way at night, about a 20ft. beam, there’s quite a lot of “normal” light emitted along with the UV.
I’ve just ordered one of these, it might be better still.
I use 550 paracord a lot and some of the colours fluoresce strongly under UV light, they look strange having two colours on a strand of camo with 3 or 4 colours shine brightly.
I’m using this 365nm drop-in. 3-18v in a Solarforce L2P host and 2 extension tubes with 6x3v CR123A Lithium Primary batteries it gives the best UV output I’ve had yet.
I’ve tried Solarforce and other Kaidomain UV drop-ins, I’ve got 5 or 6 from various sources but none of them perform like this one.
It’s not bright, that is to say your eyes don’t see the spectrum as well down in the 365nm regions of the spectrum, the UV markings on U.K. currency leap out at you like none of the other drop-ins.
It’s not cheap at $15.81 and I already had the Solarforce parts and the batteries but it does perform.
